WHITEWATER -- Racism concerns are being addressed at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater after a photo surfaced on social media with two students in what appears to be blackface.

It’s a dorm room photo at the center of a heated debate.  It went viral after students shared it on Snapchat and Facebook.  It appears to show two students in blackface, but the UW-Whitewater chancellor says it wasn't blackface - it was a beauty treatment.

WHITEWATER (WKOW) --- The UW-Whitewater Chancellor posted a message on their website Thursday morning after a social media post was sent to the school.

Chancellor Beverly Kopper said the photo was "hurtful and destructive" to the campus.

The image was a Snapchat photo of two students with their faces colored.

Senator Steve Nass, Vice-Chairman of the Senate University and Technical Colleges Committee, is condemning UW-W officials for declaring the photo a "disturbing racist post"   Senator Nass says the photo showed two students getting a facial and contained no racist statements.

“The racial over-reaction of Chancellor Beverly Kopper and other UW-Whitewater administrators without first checking the facts of the situation is a stark example of how political correctness has warped the mindset of highly educated university administrators.  Frankly, these are the people responsible for educating our sons and daughters, but they seem incapable of applying reason or common sense,” - Senator Steve Nass

So it appears that the first knee-jerk reaction of the chancellor was 'dats waaysssiisss!'

Maybe those who were triggered would feel better if they were given a pearl necklace.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Maybe black students should protest in white face.  That would be funny.

Finally saw the picture on the link.  It looks exactly like a facial treatment.  If one of them wasn't flashing a hand sign in the picture, I wonder if the assumption of racism would have been made.  On the other hand, these people are so paranoid that they are finding racism in everything.

Could be a diet issue.

They apparently thought it would be a funny picture for some reason. Maybe because they're two dudes getting facials, and trying to look cool with the backward v-for-victory sign. Maybe they thought it was funny because it sorta-kinda could be compared to black-face. Or both.

Either way, they trolled the clowns. [shrug]
